Metrocities has its firewall back up and running. Which means no MySpace. Poop.
I'm practically bursting with excitement for the new DK show! I don't even know what to do with myself, I'm so stoked. I can't eat, sleep and breathe DK because that will pay no bills. Sadly. That gets me thinking though...
Why don't my skills pay the bills? Isn't that what they're supposed to do? How is it that the only skill of mine that pays bills is my ability to talk to people as if I like them? The other day I was rambling to Greg about my latest cooking project and he asks, "Why don't you do something with that?" Like what? I don't care to make food at a restaurant, I want to create my own recipes. The only ways I could see "doing something" with my recent cooking obsession is a) culinary school (not gonna happen), b) go on one of those crappy cooking reality shows (also not gonna happen; I'm a glutton but not for punishment), or wait until I become successful enough in something else to be able to afford luxury time in which I just freaking come up with crazy recipe ideas and cook. None of these are too logical. Damn.
One of these days, I'm going to have a job that makes me money that I actually enjoy and look forward to doing. I swear. It'll happen. One of these days.

Dana, Dana, Dana. There are myriad ways to tap into your creativity in a way that makes you money. They just require boring paperwork & legal stuff. For example, your insane talent for coming up with crazy recipes... write a cookbook! All you have to do is write all the shiznit down & think up a convincing cover letter, then mail the manuscript to a bunch of publishers... It's a lot like going to auditions, except you don't have to go anywhere but your mailbox. As for your innate ability to talk to people as if you like them, well, you could use that in a lot of ways. Sales (bleh, but makes money), Marketing, Advertising... all of which you don't necessarily need a degree for - in fact there are some places that are willing to train you if they think you're the right kind of personality for the job. .................I've always thought you'd be really good at writing humorous blurbs as part of an advertising campaign. Or funny greeting cards. Or something. Don't worry, dude, you'll be rich & famous someday somehow.
